Best Prices

Where can I find the best prices for the Dec 4, 2005 4 day sailing. tia Crystal

Gosh, this is a tough question. From the posts I've read on other message boards, it's a lot like airline tickets. It seems like every passenger is paying a different price.

 

From our experience, we paid the most when booking directly through Disney Cruise Line. With AAA we got a small shipboard credit and free refillable soft drink mugs (a $140 cost at the time, although sodas now are mostly free). We booked a Carnival cruise at the last minute in 12/03 at http://www.*****.com and got a deep discount -- about 65% off list price. Our next Disney cruise is booked through Dreams Unlimited, and it's an expensive cruise -- a two-week for 4 people. I'm not sure how much we're saving.

 

I'm sorry it's not much help -- the best I can advise is contacting travel agents and websites and compare...

Hi, Cricket1997. What is the best price have you found so far for per person/double occupancy for a Category 11?

the lowest price we found for a February 2006 Disney cruise was through southwest.com

 

Disney cruises certainly don't fluctuate much in price. I have done a lot of Carnivals and an NCL, there is a lot greater price difference available for other line like those. And the Disney cruises do sell out fast. I hope it is worth it - they are pretty expensive. But with good reviews.

 

And any cruise in February will be great.

 

Good luck

We chose the May 13 cruise (eastern) we asked for 4 quotes:

 

Disney

Small World

micdan travel

local agent

 

micdan was our lowest quote by $500 - I went on a long shot and called this agent I knew nothing about but read a brief post on disboard about. we have worked with Dana who has been great! We are a party of 9

 

I have found that the email quote system that Dreams Unlimited utilizes is not a very efficient system so I didn't ask for a quote from them but I have ready they have some good rates on occasion.

 

Best of luck.

Hi, Ray!!!

 

Crystal, I know that some diehard Disney fans will be on that sailing for "Mousefest 2005" - and MouseEarVacations has very good rates for that cruise. You'll have to do a Google search to find them, cuz I don't think I am allowed to give you a link to their site.

Try Cost Co!

I checked Disney, Southwest and Buycruises.com and the latter one had the best rate for my cruise. No perks but the savings was about $90. for a single. This is or the 4 night Wonder cruise. Incidentally, the rate is cheaper than doing Carnival's 4-day Triumph cruise to Canada. Didn't think I'd see DCL asking less than CCL!

You should also check www.dreamsunlimitedtravel.com and www.allseastravel.com. These are disney specialists that usually have group deals cheaper than the rest.

TRY *****.com - it is a reverse auction where we specify the cruise line, cabin catagory and number of passengers - plus any other relevant details - BUT NOT OUR NAMES - and many travel agents see our request and submit secret bids for your business. It is great for identfying a competitive rate.

 

Following this - In all fairness I would give YOUR otherwise favorite TA a chance to bid for the business too - or the site sponsor. Aside from that - I personally have used many of the popular sites - including many of the TAs mentioned above.

 

Good luck getting your best deal!
